| | Thursday, April 20, 2000 - 11:05 am While the Hixons' story sounds unbelievable, it doesn't surprise me at all. Their pages are MUST READ for anyone looking to purchase real estate. Below is a copy of my posting at the Hixons' message board. "Subject: Managers' e-mail addresses? Fax numbers by: Christine Baker 4/20/00 4:03 pm I added to your posting at http://www.bayhouse.com/discus/messages/1/504.html?956180767 "AVOID Tucson Realty and NorthernTrust!" I would also like to add the managements' fax numbers and E-mail addresses to your posting so I (and other readers) can contact them. I'd like to give Tucson Realty and Northern Trust the opportunity to respond at my forum. If they don't respond, I wouldn't mind taking out an ad in the Tucson newspaper to publicize their fraud. Thanks much, Christine Baker bayhouse@iname.com"

| | Thursday, April 20, 2000 - 12:28 pm Dear Christine, Thank you so much for your interest in my case and in my story. It truly has been a horrendous experience. As per your request, I am including contact information as best I can. The President of Tucson Realty & Trust, I believe, is Peter Ware (pware@tucson-realty.com). Their atttorney is Megan Miller (FAX=520-323-6614). Northern Trust is harder to reach but the managing director of their Arizona office is John L. Claps (PHONE=520-615-2300). Their attorney is Gary Fletcher (FAX=520-886-5280). My attorney if anyone is interested is Mike Monroe (FAX=520-886-3527). I do hope people will visit my website so that they can learn from my experience. With best regards, Eugenie http://www.geocities.com/thehixons_2000

Claps, Managing Director, Northern Trust, Arizona, via PHONE 520-615-2300 Their attorney Gary Fletcher, via FAX 520-886-5280 The Hixons' attorney Mike Monroe, via FAX 520-886-3527 Eugenie Hixon posted their web page URL http://www.geocities.com/thehixons_2000 at my BayHouse Forum at http://www.bayhouse.com/discus/messages/1/504.html?956266131. I'd appreciate all involved parties' comments prior to taking further actions such as advertising the Hixons' web pages in the Tucson newspapers, contacting the licensing agencies for Northern Trust and Tucson Realty and Trust, etc. The Hixons' nightmare sounds as incredible as the Transamerica $15K "error" published at http://www.bayhouse.com/transamerica.html. My own experiences taught me that all too often these unbelievable stories are true. I devote a great deal of time and money to changing how Corporate America does business. After reading the Hixons' web pages, I'd like to see the licenses for both Northern Trust and Tucson Realty and Trust revoked. Please respond with your side of the story by Monday, April 24, 2000. ** Failure to respond will validate the Hixons' web pages as undisputed facts. ** Thank you very much, Christine Baker bayhouse@iname.com

| | Thursday, April 20, 2000 - 04:29 pm When I called Mr. Claps at Northern Trust he was not available. I spoke with a secretary/receptionist, and she was too busy to take a message. Apparently their phones were ringing off the hook. She had NO fax number or E-mail to give out. How odd. So I left a VM for Mr. Claps to comment on the website or E-mail me. Any legitimate business would have a fax number, sounds like they're just about out of business already.

| | Thursday, April 20, 2000 - 07:00 pm I am disgusted by the actions of Tucson Realty and Northern Trust bank in this case. I applaud the efforts of the Hixons to warn other consumers. It is companies such as these that give big business a bad name. This is truly shameful.

| | Friday, April 21, 2000 - 06:56 am Dear Christine, Thank you so much for your support. Just as an update, I added your website to both my updates page and my links page so our readers can visit your site. We truly appreciate the work you do for consumers. Best regards, Eugenie http://www.geocities.com/thehixons_2000

| | Friday, April 21, 2000 - 09:41 am Eugenie, Having a web site myself I fully appreciate the work that went into your pages. It's been a long time since I've seen a personal site that well written. You didn't just crawl outta the woods, creating your misery due to your own incompetence. You are obviously very intelligent and diligent, it's unbelievable what you had to go through. I still cannot at all understand how your $20K NONREFUNDABLE deposit could be retained by Northern Trust when they did NOT accept your offer. Aside from the countless illegal business practices described on your pages, HOW can they keep your deposit while selling to someone else???????? Have you filed any complaints with their licensing agencies?

| | Wednesday, April 26, 2000 - 11:29 pm Here is Megan Miller's response for Tucson Realty: ------------------------------------------- From: Megan Miller To: "'bayhouse@iname.com'" Cc: "'pware@tucson-realty.com'" Subject: Your April 21, 2000 facsimile Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 17:24:48 -0700 Return-Receipt-To: Megan Miller Thank you for copying me on your April 20, 2000 e-mail message to Northern Trust, Arizona and Tucson Realty and Trust Co. requesting commentary on the Hixons' web pages. You have requested my client Tucson Realty's commentary on a matter that is in litigation. In response to your facsimile, I can confirm that as to Tucson Realty the story in the web pages is disputed. However, Tucson Realty cannot offer further comment at the present time. You may wish to review the court record and deposition transcripts thus far regarding the matters in dispute. Thank you again for your courtesies. Sincerely, Megan Miller

| | Wednesday, April 26, 2000 - 11:32 pm It sure would be interesting to read those transcripts, didn't know they are available to the public. Where are they?
|
| | Thursday, April 27, 2000 - 11:39 am Unless they've been sealed, you MIGHT be able to order a copy from the court - try asking the Hixons' what court, and a phone number to the clerk - that should get you started. A case number would help too.

| | Thursday, April 27, 2000 - 07:28 pm Hi Christine and everyone, I apologize for my absence from this discussion but I was out of town. As to court depositions and filings, I would be happy to provide them to you. While my webpage reflects my account of the proceedings, I took most of what was on my web site from filings done on my behalf by my attorney, Nr. Monroe. I believe that Ms. Miller can corroborate the basic facts of the case (despite the fact that she is representing the other side). Namely, that I had a valid contract to purchase the house, that I was represented by a Tucson Realty and Trust agent, that the competing bidders were also represented by the same agency, that I was not informed of this dual agency, that the other party was represented by the other agents husband, and that the other party is presently living in the house. These are facts. Again, I would be willing to send you copies of contracts and court filings. Please let me know if these would be of interest to you. With best regards, Eugenie

| | Friday, April 28, 2000 - 01:02 pm How about just scanning them, and then sending them to Christine, she could post them perhaps? I can devote some webspace to this, if the documents are small. :-)
|
| | Friday, April 28, 2000 - 09:09 pm Hi everyone, After three years of this battle, the depositions and court documents exceed several thousand pages. This might make scanning all of the files difficult, but I could scan some initial ones as a ZIP file, and then send you more as requested. I have filled an entire filing drawer just with all of the motions, court dates, depositions etc. connected with this case. The basic facts are simple so I can send you documents which summarize this. From my point of view, the attorneys keep avoiding any resolution by simply clogging the courts. Christine, please send me your email or FAX number and I will send you some basic documents. I again thank all of you for your interest in my troubles :) Best regards, Eugenie http://www.geocities.com/thehixons_2000

| | Friday, April 28, 2000 - 09:13 pm How small is small? I've been wondering how many documents there are. Am also curious why it's taking so long for the Hixons to get their day in Court. A chronology of events, along with scans of significant documents? I just got the HP OfficeJet 720 with a scanner and OCR, but I haven't used the scanner yet. Text files would be much smaller, but I'd hate to have to proof read and correct a large number of pages. For most documents a summary would be fine, but I'd like to see the depositions in their entirety. Let's see what Eugenie has to say about publication on the web and about how many pages we have. I'm personally interested in the case, and it would be something a little different.
|
| | Friday, April 28, 2000 - 11:17 pm I just now saw Eugenie's posting. And I was afraid there'd be literally TONS of paper. How about a chronology/summary? The main events, filings? I sent Eugenie my contact info, hopefully we can work something out.
